How do we get Israel out of Eurovision, is there a special form? Like the one we used for Russia, because it killed civilians and committed war crimes template?

My vote would go to Patrick Butler and Josh Halliday for their stories on the Carers allowance scandal www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Doing nothing in Gaza is a choice the world are making, voices like Mahmoud Khalil, Helmi al-Faqawi and more have been telling us what is happening and still Governments are doing nothing. Starting to feel like September 1938 in Czechoslovakia

Football games I have watched this weekend = 4

Women’s Rugby games watched this weekend = 3

Reason why I have watched this many = Because it was on the @BBC and @ITV

Let’s bring back free to air sports on TV and just maybe a generation of kids will want to play sport?

Mencap’s response to the Spring Statement's PIP changes are alarming for those with learning disabilities.

Making the NHS more accessible for people with learning disabilities is crucial. This means clear communication, person-centered care, carer support, accessible environments, & staff training. Let's build an inclusive healthcare system for all! #LearningDisability #InclusionHealth

Yes because 2025 is exactly the year I want to hear from… Tony Blair, with more ideas. This time on ID cards.

Watching Chelsea vs Villa in the WSL earlier, and one thing stood out - no sponsors on the kits. Honestly, so refreshing. Clean designs without a betting firm slapped on the front just hit different. #WSL #Chelsea #AVFC

This money is vital for a charity like @mencap.bsky.social it will help people with a learning disability to lead happy and healthy lives.

We’ve moved the sofa as we are having a new carpet laid this week, and my cat is having an existential crisis. Her “spot” is gone #Cat #CatsOfBlueSky

This Holocaust Memorial day we remember the victims. I want to shed light on a much overlooked group, those with disabilities an estimated 300,000 were murdered under Aktion T4. Today we remember those murdered 80 years ago, but also remind those in power, now more than ever #NeverAgain #Holocaust
